Mexican Flag - Official National Symbol of Mexico #176924 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Mexico consists of three equal vertical bands: green (hoist side), white, and red, with the national coat of arms-featuring a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake-centered on the white band. The colors symbolize hope (green), purity (white), and the blood of national heroes (red). The design has evolved since independence in 1821, with the current version standardized in 1968.
